At 7pm a full hour before the program was to begin, hundreds were already gathered on the Port Highway ready for what was to be an excellent evening of premier local entertainment. The action the rest of the evening was swift and lively. After welcoming remarks by the Deputy Chairperson of the Grenada Carnival Committee, Mrs. Elizabeth Henry-Greenidge, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism and Culture Mr. Adrian Hayes declared the 2005 Carnival season open. The pronouncement was followed by a fireworks display and an animated music display by the DJ.
It is riveting to have these bands display their wares at such an early stage, giving the customer time to decide on choice of band. It is the hope of the Grenada Carnival Committee that it will begin a trend that will enable the growth of Mas here in Grenada.

    Culture on Grenada , carriacou and Petit martinique is a mixture of British, African, West Indian and French influences. Though the majority of Grenadians are Roman Catholic and a French-African patois is spoken by some, the French influence on this small nation is slight compared to other neighboring islands that have oscillated between the main Caribbean colonial powers.The official language is English, and though the majority are Roman Catholic, there are plenty of Anglican, Methodist and Presbyterian churches. African Creole influences come to the fore during Carnival, and a general resurgence of black pride is visible in the widespread practice of giving African names to Grenadian children. Carriacou has a unique folk troupe that performs the African-influenced Big Drum Dance, centered around the playing of drums made of small rum kegs covered with goatskin. On Grenada, steel band and calypso music are popular The folk art of Carriacou artist Canute Caliste has gained international recognition painting visions of mermaids and sailing vessels at his home in L'Esterre. The popularity of steel hulls has made it difficult to see traditional wooden schooners being built on Carriacou.

    Grenada is nicknamed "The Spice Island" because of its heavy production of cinnamon, cocoa and nutmeg is located in the Eastern Caribbean. The nation of Grenada is made up of Grenada, Petit Martinique and Carriacou. This island has a number of cultural attractions among which is Carnival, steel bands and Calypso music. Grenada can boast of the greatest calypsonian in the world in the name of Slinger Francisco - "The Might Sparrow". It is a place to escape to for romantic getaway, water sports, diving and snorkeling. It also possesses one of the most beautiful beaches in the world in the form of Grande Anse. The French and the British continued to battle for ninety years for control of Grenada. Fort George and Fort Frederick, which overlook St. George's harbour, are relics of those fights. Finally, under the Treaty of Versailles in 1783, the island was permanently ceded to the British. After the British gained control of the Grenada, they imported large numbers of slaves from Africa and established sugar plantations. In 1785, however, Julian Fedon, a black planter, challenged the British. Under Fedon's leadership, the island's slave rose up in a violent rebellion, effectively taking control of Grenada temporarily. Although the British crushed the rebellion, tensions remained high until slavery and abolished in 1834. The site of Fedon's Camp is a popular destination for hikers and trekkers as it is located high in the beautiful mountains.

We at The Division of Culture invite you to explore our new website which gives you a view of Grenada through the performing arts. "Shortknee” as they are called, is one aspect of Grenada’s Carnival. This masked character is the remnant of an old form of mass call the “Pierrots” and dates back to the16th and 17th century. The revelers wear brightly coloured costumes made from 6 ½ yds. of material adorned with bells and mirrors. Their call and response chants and vigorous movements portray them as fearless warriors as their parade enveloped in a cloud of talcum powder.
